Kuwait is expected to host a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council starting on Tuesday. It comes as the regional alliance is facing its worst crisis in decades, with the blockade of Qatar.
More than six months ago, four countries imposed an air, sea and land blockade on Qatar.
"The reality is that the [GCC] summit will not bring a resolution to the Qatari crisis, but nor is it intended to resolve disputes," reads a commentary published by the UAE's state-run WAM news agency on Sunday.

Leaders of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council traditionally meet for their summit every December.
The organization normally brings together Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
The GCC was formed in 1981 but 2017 is a year of crisis. Three members - Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE - are blockading a fourth: Qatar.
With the diplomatic crisis now entering its seventh month there were questions whether the annual summit meeting would go ahead at all.
In the end it did, but it would be difficult to call the results a success.
Only the summit's host, the Emir of Kuwait, and Qatar's Emir were there.
The blockading countries sent relatively low-level delegations.
As a result, what was planned to be a two-day event lasted only a few hours.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE used the occasion to announce the formation of a new economic and military cooperation organization separate from the GCC.
Does the GCC still have a future - or has it been damaged beyond repair?

UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia
UK's arms sales to Saudi Arabia is legal: that's a ruling by London'sHigh Court and a blow to campaigners who were trying to block UK's weapons exports to the oil-rich Persian Gulf ArabKingdom.

The decision has been described as "green light" to further arms exports to Saudi Arabia Quote despite the clear risk they will be used to commit violations. The ruling has raised concerns among rights campaigners and activists that more civilian lives would be lost in the war-ravaged country.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia (i/ˌsɔːdiːəˈreɪbiə/, i/ˌsaʊ-/), officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is an Arab state in Western Asia constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. With a land area of approximately 2,150,000km2 (830,000sqmi), Saudi Arabia is geographically the second-largest state in the Arab world after Algeria. Saudi Arabia is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast, and Yemen to the south. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast, and most of its terrain consists of arid inhospitable desert or barren landforms.

The area of modern-day Saudi Arabia formerly consisted of four distinct regions: Hejaz, Najd, and parts of Eastern Arabia (Al-Ahsa) and Southern Arabia ('Asir). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932 by Ibn Saud. He united the four regions into a single state through a series of conquests beginning in 1902 with the capture of Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the House of Saud. The country has since been an absolute monarchy, effectively a hereditary dictatorship governed along Islamic lines. The ultra-conservative Wahhabism religious movement within Sunni Islam has been called "the predominant feature of Saudi culture", with its global spreading largely financed by the oil and gas trade. Saudi Arabia is sometimes called "the Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca), and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam. The Kingdom has a total population of 28.7 million, of which 20 million are Saudi nationals and 8 million are foreigners.

Qatar (/ˈkæˌtɑːr/,i/ˈkɑːtɑːr/, /ˈkɑːtər/ or i/kəˈtɑːr/;Arabic:قطر‎Qaṭar[ˈqɑtˤɑr]; local vernacular pronunciation: [ɡɪtˤɑr]), officially the State of Qatar (Arabic:دولة قطر‎Dawlat Qaṭar), is a sovereigncountry located in Southwest Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island of Bahrain, as well as sharing sea borders with the United Arab Emirates and Iran.

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emiratesi/juːˌnaɪtᵻdˌærəbˈɛmɪrᵻts/ (Arabic:دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة‎Dawlat al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah), sometimes simply called the Emirates or the UAE, is a country located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south, as well as sharing sea borders with Qatar and Iran. In 2013, the UAE's total population was 9.2 million, of which 1.4 million are Emirati citizens and 7.8 million are expatriates.

The legal battle was launched by the Campaign Against the Arms Trade to prevent weapons sale to Riyadh which is responsible for widespread rights violations and war crimes in Yemen.

Islam still plays an important role in the daily cultural life of the people, including the traditional market places that are almost exclusively a male domain. The Republic Of Yemen covers a large part of the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula and contains several fascinating historical sites. East of Sanaa on the ancient Frankincense route, is the town of Marib that was once the residence of the legendary Queen Of Saba and in the extreme north is the town of Sadah, a region known for its powerful tribes. In the centre of the Djebel Harraz is the picturesque mountain village of Manakhah. Due to its location it was once a strategic point on the ancient trading route between the sea and the highlands. The breathtaking architecture of its buildings still testifies to the former prosperity of a village that today is well known for its popular market. Al Hudaydah was once the most important Turkish harbour on the Red Sea. The city was a commercial rival of the British occupied city of Aden to the south which, during colonial times, was of great importance in securing a sea route to India. In addition to the recent modernisation of the harbour the fishing industry still plays an important role and the fertile coastal waters of the Red Sea still ensure a good catch. To the south of Al Hudaydah is the legendary old harbour of Al Mokha, the former centre of the country’s coffee trade from which the world renowned Mocha coffee derived its name. Despite their present poverty the people here are a proud race and the ancient name of the Yemen, Arabia Felix, or “Arabia The Content”, is still a thing of the present.

Saudi Arabian Anthem [English Translation]

It's something to upload while I figure out what else I should work on. If you ever have a German song you want me to translate, feel free to tell me. It helps me a lot to have a direction to go for because so far I've done quite a lot of songs that I don't know which ones I've missed or not.

"Noor 3ainey" by singer Rashed El-Majed. I created this video for Arabic learners so they can follow the sounds and associate the script with the words. I will be putting up a few arabic lessons in the coming weeks. Request a song if you would like!

National Anthem of Saudi Arabia - "النشيد الوطني"

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩ESPAÑOL۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
Aash al-Maleek (Larga Vida al Rey) es el himno nacional de Arabia Saudita.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩ENGLISH۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
The National Anthem of The KingdomSaudi Arabia (النشيد الوطني السعودي) was first officially adopted in 1950 with no lyrics and then again in 1984 with lyrics. The original composition was by Abdul-Rahman al-Khateeb (عبد الرحمن الخطيب) in 1947 and the brass instrumental version was later arranged by Seraj Omar (سراج عمر). The lyrics were written by Ibrahim Khafaji (إبراهيم خفاجي).
It is referred to simply as The National Anthem (النشيد الوطني an-Našīd al-Waṭaniyy), although it is commonly known by its incipit, Sārʿī (سارعي, "Hasten"), from Sārʿī lil-maǧdi wal-ʿalyāʾ (سارعي للمجد والعلياء, "Hasten to glory and supremacy!"). The lyrics call upon the cou...

My favorite song "Bla 7ob" by Rashed El-Majed. I made a karaoke version of this song for your enjoyment. I also made it to help arabic learners associate sounds with words and script. Enjoy!! Request any songs you would like to see in this way! Thanks again!

Crazy "Sidewalk Skiing" in The Saudi Desert

So I was taking this road trip in Saudi Arabia the other day, and all of a sudden, I see this on the road!
Okay, I wasn't really in Saudi Arabia, but what you're seeing is the latest craze over there. They call it "sidewalk skiing."
And they're taking it seriously too! Al-Mustaheel is the team captain of the "ImpossibleGroup." That's him there in the blue bandana, just, uh, chilling out on the car.
[Al-Mustaheel, Imposable Group TeamCaptain]:
"I raise the car on two wheels and drive it on the right and left sides. I do a lot of acrobatic movements, including taking the tires off (while driving) to jump on the sidewalks of the road while driving on two wheels, driving in the desert, lots of things really, with small and large cars, and any car.''
Hm, so he can do this with ANY car eh?...

[Sahoot, Impossible Group Team Member]:
"Unlike the hand break turn movements, unlike accidents, it is possible to get into a minor accidents. Risk is involved in everything, but there's not much danger in this."
I thought it would have been dangerous, but Sahoot says it's not, so I guess it's not dangerous.
Now this isn't the first crazy, yet completely safe, motorsport that the Sudis have thought up. Check out this video from a while back.
These guys seem to be driving on a highway in a semi-urban area so I'm guessing they are going at least 40 miles an hour, maybe even 50 or 60. What kind of shoes are they wearing that the soles don't completely burn through and leave their feet being shredded on the road.
Anyway, whether it is changing the wheels of a car driving on two wheels, or elegantly skating on the surface of the highway, the Saudi's certainly do have a passion for motorsport. But what do you think? Are these sports dangerous? Leave your comments below, don't forget to like, subscribe...but most importantly, don't try this at home!

So I was taking this road trip in Saudi Arabia the other day, and all of a sudden, I see this on the road!
Okay, I wasn't really in Saudi Arabia, but what you're seeing is the latest craze over there. They call it "sidewalk skiing."
And they're taking it seriously too! Al-Mustaheel is the team captain of the "ImpossibleGroup." That's him there in the blue bandana, just, uh, chilling out on the car.
[Al-Mustaheel, Imposable Group TeamCaptain]:
"I raise the car on two wheels and drive it on the right and left sides. I do a lot of acrobatic movements, including taking the tires off (while driving) to jump on the sidewalks of the road while driving on two wheels, driving in the desert, lots of things really, with small and large cars, and any car.''
Hm, so he can do this with ANY car eh? Just as well his team members aren't concerned that this may be a little dangerous.
[Sahoot, Impossible Group Team Member]:
"Unlike the hand break turn movements, unlike accidents, it is possible to get into a minor accidents. Risk is involved in everything, but there's not much danger in this."
I thought it would have been dangerous, but Sahoot says it's not, so I guess it's not dangerous.
Now this isn't the first crazy, yet completely safe, motorsport that the Sudis have thought up. Check out this video from a while back.

What remains of the GCC? - Inside Story

Leaders of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council traditionally meet for their summit every December.
The organization normally brings together Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

Why the GCC trading bloc isn't living up to its name | Counting the Cost

When the annual Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Kuwait ended abruptly this week, so too, did hopes of a breakthrough in the bloc's biggest crisis in decades.
The meeting was the first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut trade and diplomatic ties with Qatar in June, after accusing it of supporting "terrorism", allegations that Qatar denies.
The GCC summit concluded abruptly on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, with delegates leaving Kuwait after a closed session.
But even before the summit officially kicked off, divisions were very much on display.
The UAE announced it had formed a new economic and military partnership with Saudi Arabia that would be separate from the GCC. And Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain decided not to send their respective leaders to Kuwait.

GCC collapse

The crisis in the Gulf Cooperation Council is nearing the five-month mark, and Doha's rift with most all the GCC member states doesn't seem any closer to being resolved. In fact, some are now warning if a solution isn't found soon, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Bahrain has called for a freeze of Qatar's GCC membership, and says it won't attend the next summit if Qatar is there. And Kuwait's emir, who's been trying to mediate the crisis, says we might soon see the collapse of the entire council. So what would that mean for the region?

The Newsmakers: Qatar-GCC Row

It was at a military ceremony in Doha when Qatar's EmirTamin bin Hamad Al Thani took to the stage to make a routine speech. But then came the local media reports, saying he praised Iran and criticised the Gulf Cooperation Council - or GCC - for allegedly supporting terror. Saudi Arabia was singled out the most. Qatar's government, for its part, says its media outlets were hacked and that the Emir never made the remarks. But the damage was already done, and the nations responded by shutting down all of Qatar's media outlets in their territories. So what really happened and how will it affect cooperation between the Gulf states?

What will happen when the Gulf countries' oil runs out? - Inside Story

The International Monetary Fund has some advice for countries in the Gulf: Diversify, and diversify fast. The oil, that’s made many Gulf countries extremely wealthy, is not going to last forever. And the IMF’s 2017 report is predicting the worst growth rate for the region since the global financial collapse several years ago.
Economies in the region have been suffering since oil prices fell dramatically in 2014. Attempts to curb oil production have only slightly raised revenue. And the Gulf Cooperation Council diplomatic crisis that began in June has only made the situation worse.
The IMF says Qatar and its blockading neighbours could have trouble finding investors if the crisis continues.
So what are the alternatives?

The meeting was the first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut trade and diplomatic ties with Qatar in June, after accusing it of supporting "terrorism", allegations that Qatar denies.
The GCC summit concluded abruptly on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, with delegates leaving Kuwait after a closed session.
But even before the summit officially kicked off, divisions were very much on display.
The UAE announced it had formed a new economic and military partnership with Saudi Arabia that would be separate from the GCC. And Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain decided not to send their respective leaders to Kuwait.
So is the GCC trading bloc still living up to its name? And how is pressing the pause button on economic cooperation affecting the oil-rich region?
According to Ayham Kamel, head of MENA at the Eurasia Group, the GCC bloc operates in name only now.
"Virtually, we have an organisation that is able to do very little. There's no consensus on the major issues - not on foreign policy, economics, so I think it will remain there in name, but the effectiveness has gone down to almost zero."
The Gulf crisis "really has created the first step towards partial disentigration of the union ... I don't think you're going to hear any headlines on cooperation or any strategy from the GCC any more," says Kamel.
On whether the GGC is committed to diversifying their economies away from oil dependency, he says, "there was serious committment towards having some sort of fiscal rebalancing process across the GCC that maintained the balance between the Gulf economies."
However, Kamel believes that "you have to expect some delays, some structural problems because these states have not really introduced any complicated form of taxation at anytime. At this stage, we get a state-centric approach and some states move forward quite quick, but others feel compelled to put them on the sidelines. I think in the Qatar case, we'll probably see some delays because of the economic and political crisis with the GCC, so it would be more prudent to delay that and its a likely direction."
Also on this episode of Counting the Cost:
The plastic economy: This week, the world's top decision-making body on the environment, the UN EnvironmentAssembly, passed a resolution on zero tolerance to plastic pollution in the ocean. But it's non-binding, so the onus falls on individual citizens across the globe to make it happen. Catherine Soi reports from the summit in Nairobi.
SMS anniversary: It has been 25 years since the world's first text message was sent. And that's something to talk about, given the way the humble SMS has evolved into an entire messaging industry, as Paul Brennan explains.
Peace diamonds: The diamond trade currently still relies on paper-based certification, but that's changing. De Beers, the world's largest supplier of diamonds, says it wants to use something called 'blockchain technology' to provide a traceable record for its gemstones. The platform will trace the diamonds' route through the value chain, from mine to consumer. Gabriel Elizondo reports from New York.

Qatar blockade: GCC summit unlikely to resolve crisis

Kuwait is expected to host a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council starting on Tuesday. It comes as the regional alliance is facing its worst crisis in decades, with the blockade of Qatar.
More than six months ago, four countries imposed an air, sea and land blockade on Qatar.
"The reality is that the [GCC] summit will not bring a resolution to the Qatari crisis, but nor is it intended to resolve disputes," reads a commentary published by the UAE's state-run WAM news agency on Sunday.

Rift among Arabs: 2-day GCC summit ends within hours

A planned two-day summit of Persian GulfArab countries has ended within hours of starting after the rulers of Saudi Arabia and its allies refused to attend the meeting.
Rulers of Saudi Arabia, the Unites Arab Emirates and Bahrain skipped the summit over their months-long dispute with Qatar. Before the start of the summit, the U-A-E announced it formed a new partnership with Saudi Arabia to coordinate all military, political, economic, trade and cultural fields. Kuwaiti EmirSheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al Sabah called for the G-C-C charter to be amended to establish a clear mechanism for resolving disputes between member states. Saudi Arabia and its allies cut all ties with Qatar in June, accusing the Sheikhdom of supporting terrorist groups. Qatar denies the allegations and has accused the Saudi-led bloc of aiming to cause regime change in Doha.

GCC summit ends a day early amid diplomatic rift

The legal battle was launched by the Campaign Against the Arms Trade to prevent weapons sale to Riyadh which is responsible for widespread rights violations and war crimes in Yemen.

Dubai Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Come to Dubai, the ancient City of Gold, for your next vacation.
Modernity and antiquity collide in this vibrant city. Shop at the same spice market locals have been visiting for generations, then visit the stores in the Gold Souk, a jewelry-centered traditional marketplace. For a more modern shopping experience, go to the Dubai Mall, home to over 1200 stores, an underwater zoo, and KidZania®, a “city” where children can roleplay various careers.
To soak up some of the legendary Dubai sunshine, simply step outside. Take in the view of the city from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Continue your Dubai tour by wandering through the exotic buildings and resorts, or visit some of the public beaches. If you’d like to try something a little different and don’t mind paying a small fee, you can also attend local hotel beaches even if you aren’t staying there.
You can’t finish your Dubai sightseeing without a trip into the desert itself. Ride a camel, go sandboarding, or just stand out on the dunes and marvel at the beauty of it all.

Arabia Felix Vacation Travel Video Guide

The Republic Of Yemen: there is almost no other country on Earth that possesses as many secrets and ancient legends as the Arabia Felix and the Bab Al Yemen, the gateway to the Yemen, is the entrance to the historic district of Sanaa, the Yemen’s capital city that it is believed to date back to the third century A.D.Women are rarely to be seen in Yemen’s marketplaces and, when they are, they are hidden from male glances by a protective veil. Islam still plays an important role in the daily cultural life of the people, including the traditional market places that are almost exclusively a male domain. The Republic Of Yemen covers a large part of the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula and contains several fascinating historical sites. East of Sanaa on the ancient Frankincense route, is the town of Marib that was once the residence of the legendary Queen Of Saba and in the extreme north is the town of Sadah, a region known for its powerful tribes. In the centre of the Djebel Harraz is the picturesque mountain village of Manakhah. Due to its location it was once a strategic point on the ancient trading route between the sea and the highlands. The breathtaking architecture of its buildings still testifies to the former prosperity of a village that today is well known for its popular market. Al Hudaydah was once the most important Turkish harbour on the Red Sea. The city was a commercial rival of the British occupied city of Aden to the south which, during colonial times, was of great importance in securing a sea route to India. In addition to the recent modernisation of the harbour the fishing industry still plays an important role and the fertile coastal waters of the Red Sea still ensure a good catch. To the south of Al Hudaydah is the legendary old harbour of Al Mokha, the former centre of the country’s coffee trade from which the world renowned Mocha coffee derived its name. Despite their present poverty the people here are a proud race and the ancient name of the Yemen, Arabia Felix, or “Arabia The Content”, is still a thing of the present.
